Ah ok - well that makes sense - would not want to kill their server having it update automatically, say whenever somebody loads a page which jverkoey has posted on.

edit::

I am expecting to have my first work unit done at around 2 this morning, if it keeps going at the current rate (its been like clockwork so far) - that will make it roughly 33 hours of my machine doing about 95 - 99%..

I'd think that it would work fine on it's own as long as you weren't doing other things...if you really want to make sure though:

Press control-shift-Esc, then select processes, find the Folding at home program (mine is FahCore_78.exe), right click on it, and you can set priority there...I wouldn't mess with it, but if you do, don't set it above high...your computer might actually need to do something else...like virus scans....

I'm in, but a 600mhz celeron isn't much of an addition is it? :P

I had it running all day but my CPU temp went up to 74C, my uptime was 4 weeks but i sacrificed an uptime record to shut down and plug the other 3 fans in.
Now im running at 64 and I'll have this server running folding while im in NC for the next 8 days.

if you want to know how we are doing at that moment, you can also check here. it uses almost the same code as the code used to generate jverkoey's sig. it also does pretty well on small devices (cell phone, PDA, etc.)
